Ima-Rx and Dupont prevail in some patent dispute with Molecular Biosystems regarding perflurocarbon technologies for ultrasound images.

Sonus is also in this market with Abbott? and ready to go in Europe,
still pending FDA for US marketing.

Kind of crowded ultrasound market.

Is ALLP well protected with patents? they claim so.

I will take this Ultrasound market out of the valuation model, or at least decrease it to a certain percent of the market (10% sounds reasonable for conservative valuation model).

Polyheme is a human hemoglobin base blood substitute product with some studies in replacing acute blood loss.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

And Northfield's Polyheme is in phase III trial (recent news).

Another in the blood field is Hemosol (from animal hemoglobin?).

Baxter was the one who fail in phase III. It seems they are in the outlook to buy or partner somebody in same market.
